P&G updates Prilosec OTC packaging

CINCINNATI Procter & Gamble last week announced an update for its Prilosec OTC packaging with an FDA-approved, easy-to-push through foil pack.

The new packages will begin to appear in stores in mid-May 2008.

“Based on feedback from consumers, the packs have been changed to allow for a lower amount of force necessary to push pills out, a great service to those who struggle with medicine packs on a daily basis,” P&G noted. “The packs will also feature information to help users gauge the severity of their heartburn and determine when to take Prilosec OTC.”
